Brighthaven Chronicles

Welcome to Brighthaven.  A haven kingdom in the center of the country of Elandria. Here, lush landscapes, green fields, and breathtaking waterfalls are the backdrop for a kingdom steeped in peace…

…Unlike its seven neighboring kingdoms that surround Brighthaven.

Through generations of corruption, hunger for power, and acceptance of deceit, war has become a way of life.  

Now so much time has passed that no one in Elandria can remember they are a nation at war. The origins are obscure. The moral compass between truth and deceit is barely recognizable. 

A small, homeless, orphan girl surviving on the streets from one of the tiny, dirty kingdoms bordering Brighthaven soon discover when she is thrown into a journey that will unlock the hidden secrets of the true reality behind the shadow of war.

What will she uncover, overcome, and bring to the people of Elandria?  

Come along as we follow Aria's journey to unlock the past and seek answers for her people to have a future.

Does the kingdom even exist or will she find herself back on the streets of Elandria?

Book 2- Sarah's Quest

A mysterious illness is spreading through Brighthaven, and Sarah is entrusted with a vital mission—traveling across a war-torn land in search of a rare cure. The journey is treacherous, and the forces of Emperor Mardune are closing in. With danger at every turn, Sarah must rely on courage, faith, and an unexpected ally to complete her quest.

Meanwhile, Aria faces a different kind of challenge—one that tests her heart more than any battle. Instead of an urgent mission or daring adventure, she is sent back to school. Bored, forgotten, and questioning her worth, Aria struggles to trust King Joshua’s plan for her life. Will she rebel against the quiet path laid before her, or will she discover that even the smallest assignments can shape the fate of a kingdom?

As war rages and destinies unfold, Sarah and Aria must choose—will they trust the King’s plan, even when it doesn’t make sense?

Book 3 - Aria's Intrigue

In the heart of Elandria, where the River Bright spills from Brighthaven’s radiant falls, a shadow creeps across the Seven Kingdoms. Aria’s Intrigue hurls adopted sisters Aria and Sarah into a maelstrom of betrayal and desperation, their bond tested as they fight to save a land teetering on collapse. Aria, once a Rohrmond slum orphan, now carries High King Joshua’s trust, her blue cloak and gold brooch a heavy mantle against her slight frame. In Sepharvayim’s opulent Castle Vitta, she navigates glittering balls and gritty markets, the River's sour stench mirroring the Merchant Guild’s corruption. Nobles’ haughty stares cut through her, their silks rustling with hidden agendas, and Aria feels like a street rat among predators. When she overhears Lady Sereth, Chaumerith’s cunning wife, plotting to topple Brighthaven, the weight of Elandria’s fate settles on her shoulders. The Guild’s treachery, tied to Mardune’s war machine, threatens to choke Sepharvayim’s starving people, and Aria’s past haunts every step. Can she expose the traitors before Vitta’s walls crumble, or will her slum-born instincts falter under noble schemes?

Meanwhile, Sarah hunts a cure for the poisoned rivers, her white ash bow her only solace. Her quest drives her to Dravania’s brutal mines, where scarred children toil, their hollow eyes echoing stolen destinies. Trapped and weakened, Sarah grapples with her own past, her resolve tested by cruel overseers and the blight’s spreading rot. Her allies fuel her fight, but the mines’ darkness threatens to break her. As Mardune’s scouts tighten their grip, striking at dusk with bloodied blades, the sisters’ paths converge in a desperate stand. Guided by Joshua’s cryptic charge—“You’ll know your task”—and whispers of a hidden cure, Aria and Sarah rally outcasts to defy corruption. From Sepharvayim’s blighted plains to Dravania’s forges, their courage battles a kingdom’s hunger and a traitor’s blade.
